This exhibition on the art and culture of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) in Germany is the first comprehensive overview of this artistic movement in France. In addition to painting and photography, the project brings together architecture, design, film, theatre, literature and music.

Photographer August Sander's masterpiece Men of the 20th Century establishes the motif of a cross-section through a society as a "show within a show" as a structural principle, with the two perspectives working together to open up a broad overview of German art of the late 1920s.

With Angela Lampe, curator of the modern collection service and Florian Ebner, head of the photography cabinet

The work of German photographer Jochen Lempert (b. 1958), imbued with images of nature where animals and plants rub shoulders, combines the rigour of scientific observation with the delicacy of poetry.
The retrospective exhibition allows us to discover the whole of his career, and to put it in resonance with some of the historical pieces preserved by the Musée national d'art moderne - from the scientific work of Anna Atkins or Karl Blossfeldt to the surrealist images of Jacques-André Boiffard, via the prints of Jean Painlevé in particular.

With Florian Ebner, head of the photography cabinet and Julie Jones, curator at the photography cabinet

Mission Recherche

Claire Chesnier's work echoes both Shanshui paintings and abstract art. In a technique close to the wash, Claire Chesnier mixes colors with finesse. The artist herself describes her work as "a light depth of color and time", leaving the nuance to its power of poetic evocation.
